Clara Y

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I have had four different piano teachers for the past 20 years and they are truly amazing and highly qualified with certifications from music school in Europe. I have gained a great deal from them and I would love to share my knowledge with people who love piano music as well. I mainly play classical, romantic and pop musics. If there are any particular pieces that you need help with, hit me up! :) Read More

Blake M

Instruments: Piano Trombone Keyboard

I have been teaching privately for the past 7 years and absolutely love it! I love helping my students achieve their goals weather that be concrete or abstract! I've been teaching classes and lessons at the university level for the past two years as well. I have mostly been teaching in trombone (all genres), jazz improvisation, ear training, and music theory but am comfortable teaching within many other concepts. I have been teaching piano on and off for the past 2 years and teach piano at a very beginning level. Read More

Nicholas S

Instruments: Piano

I truly enjoy seeing my students learn to appreciate music and its many styles and uses. My teaching style, while keeping a focus on the fundamentals of piano, also encourages creativity and exploration of their own. All students have different learning styles and speeds, and some students may take longer to understand certain concepts. I take this into account before each lesson, and tailor the lesson to be both productive and enjoyable. Read More

Jaime W

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

I have worked with beginner students, looking to learn more about their voice and what it can do. I have worked with students that are at the height of the professional singing career and I have helped them refine and nuance their audition package. I have helped singers work on their own musical compositions for an upcoming indie/pop/and/or RB album release. My job is to help you reach your goals, and I'm so excited to listen to your voice grow!" Read More

Brandon P

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

The most successful students are the ones who are motivated to learn and improve. Therefore, I work with my students to foster a passion for music performance. Because playing music encompasses many distinct disciplines, I do not simply focus on technical development. I provide my students many avenues to improve their music performance abilities by teaching them about both the science and the art of playing an instrument. To help foster a passion for music I help students establish realistic goals and benchmarks to measure their progress and experience tangible improvement. Read More

Anh L

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

My ultimate aim in teaching is to build a solid foundation of music based on the musical ability of each age group and offer a suitable curriculum. In Vietnam, I had a four-year Intermediate Education Diploma in voice. I took many opportunities to be a volunteer musician at church since she 8 years old until now in singing and playing the piano. I have my own private voice and piano studio for all different ages. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Douglas B

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Slow, Slow, and SLOWER! Slow it down to perfect those tricky rhythms, articulations or slight gradations for those crescendos and decrescendo. To me slow practice is the best way! I still use it all the time in my own practicing! Don't just play slow though but incorporate dynamic shadings at the same time. Anyone can play loud and fast, but to play slow and pianissimo will give you a much more commanding technique. For a tricky rhythmic section I have a set routine I use. 1. Play it slow and Mezzo Forte 2. Play it slow and Pianissimo 3. Play it slow and with full dynamic gradations. Practice these steps first without pedal then with pedal. Repeat this process on a daily basis slowly building up the tempo until you have perfected the passage!

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Well I really don't practice my scales and exercises anymore, as I spent so much time with them in my earlier years. I use to practice 8 hours a day during my college years and had time for all the scales, arpeggios and technical exercises I wanted. With less hours to practice now I have to take a much more efficient approach. Besides, technique is found in the music. I usually only practice 3 or 4 different pieces each week. I do a lot of slow and mezzo forte work without pedal to master any tricky passages. I alternate that slow work with up to tempo work as well so I can check my progress. I also use my practice rhythms to work more technical passages. Finally, when things are very close I start using a metronome to perfect my rhythm and tempo.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I take most pride in my own compositions and arrangement for piano. I have gone through many styles from classical to new age to rock to avantgarde to western swing! I have most recently come full circle and returned back to a classical foundation. It has a strong classical base but at the same time uses experimental piano techniques and yet manages to stay accessible. I am currently working on a large multi-movement work for piano called "Project Genesis" which I hope to start recording soon. It's sort of a concerto for piano without orchestra where the piano provides the accompaniment. It will require many overdubs to achieve my vision. It will certainly be an epic accomplishment for me when finished! I also write my own piano arrangements of orchestral works. Among them and most recently is my arrangement of the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th symphony, which I will be uploading to youtube soon

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have three main teachers who were the greatest influences upon my own piano studies. During my earliest college years at Mesa College I was studying with Ken Ard who really had me focus on the rudiments such as scales, arpeggios and progressions. He was always flexible in his approach with me and would basically help me with any style I wanted to work on. When I entered San Diego State University I began studying with Karen Follingstad. It was her who really opened up the passion in the music for me. She had focus first and foremost in my musical expression. My last and greatest influential teacher was George Katz. It is Mr. Katz who taught me about weight distribution but most importantly how to shape a phrase. He taught me all the finer things in interpretation which I use to this day!

Suzuki Practice: A Daily Event

...Kreitman, Suzuki pedagogue and author of the book Teaching from the Balance Point, writes that, “Practice is the ‘work’ part of developing technique on the instrument” (75). In other words, when a student practices, he is developing a skill, whether it is the physical element of holding up the violin comfortably, or refining his ear to be able to tell when something is “in tune.”   The Parent’s Role The parent is in charge of making sure that a Suzuki practice session is set up well – especially for young children.

Ask A Teacher: The Best Piano Method for Kids

...Most parents wonder what the best piano method for kids is. The best answer is that it depends on the student and teacher! One thing we always ask prospective teachers when they are interviewing to work with us is to describe their basic philosophy of teaching. This might be one of the most important questions we put to them, as it gives us insight into the how of teaching: how do they conduct lessons? How do they work with younger students? How do they get a complete beginner started on their instrument? There are quite a few piano teaching methods ... Read More

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
